Evansville’s own ‘Sauced’ Italian restaurant is hosting a free Thanksgiving buffet. Walton’s Smokehouse and Southern Kitchen is one of the nine sponsoring businesses donating food. Walton’s Smokehouse will donate cherry, apple, and peach cobblers to the Thanksgiving event. Smokehouse management says they chose to donate cobbler for the event because it can serve up to 70 people per pan, and it can be made quickly. The Thanksgiving event will be held in the ‘Sauced’ ballroom on 1113 Parrett Street in Evansville. The event is from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM tomorrow.

One local High School Football team will play for a state championship this weekend up in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium and that is the Mater Dei Wildcats.
